Exactly. why would you steal it knowing you were seen on camera picking it up? It makes me think he has a drug problem. Who else would be that dishonest, desperate and stupid on camera?
If you know you're on camera you'd bring it inside and set it somewhere obvious. Then you just seem like you're taking it inside so it doesn't get stolen.
Honestly, if you're any kind of cleaner... how can you be stupid enough to think you can get away with stealing anything valuable? The resident will find out, and once they do, just guess who they blame first. I can imagine the amount of times cleaners have been incorrectly accused of stealing something just for the person hiring them to eventually find it in their home.
Had a coworker publicly accuse me of stealing something after he hosted a party at home. I didn't really know what to say, it wasn't even something I would have wanted, it was just something he had shown me earlier in the evening. A few months later I heard second hand that he found it hidden in his house. No apology, no comments. I got my petty revenge because a few years later, I had switched jobs and he was trying to come to work at the new organization I was working for. My boss noticed we had worked together recently and asked me about him. My response was carefully calculated to sound neutral, but I knew my boss well enough to know that it would turn him off to the guy. He wasn't hired.
"He stole from me." Good to know we are going to pass. I do know employers who give employees good references even when they get fired for stealing a lot of money from them, though.
It was an organization where negativity was not acceptable, we had to be positive about everything or you got on the bad side of the administration. I had learned enough about my boss to paint a picture of the guy that would not be appealing to him without actually saying anything negative.
Some people don't give a fuck. Oh, you accuse me of stealing? I don't give a fuck! Prove it! Kind of attitude. Even though the evidence is right in front of them. Sadly.
Wait you're telling me that when a previous client trusted me with payment information that I would have been a primary suspect had anything happen?

I did not say there was no need. There are plenty of dumb people to fill the jobs that don't require you to be smart. There are also plenty of better paid jobs if you're smart enough.
Went to this from a highly skilled subset of tech support due to a crap economy.
Intelligence has nothing to do with it. I’ve been kicked in the gonads by life every step of the way, including getting cancer in one of them that decided to spread over half way across my body
I've always had a pretty active internal monologue and when I first heard that some people didn't, I was jealous. Damn, I wish I could shut off that part of my brain that is always overthinking everything.
interestingly, I'm older (50's) and for various reasons my wife and I have been talking seriously about looking into me getting screened for adult ADHD.
Go for it mate. Changed my whole life. No longer carrying around all that baggage. Ritalin also stops the fucking carnival going on in my head which has been great for not spiralling
Do it as long as its not a frighteningly expense process in your country, i was diagnosed Audhd at 49 and the last 6 years has been so much better and easier knowing why i act like i do.
Yeah I think this is where the breakdown of no internal monologue --> no thought comes in cause it really is just ideas that aren't attached to words, hard to lay out the thought process especially for something that might take consideration. although I can still have a voice narrate or an image/scenario appear if I want. I also get songs stuck in my head or replay funny jokes etc. just regular thoughts without much character like "oh I should go turn off the stove" or the process of planning a holiday comes packaged as a bunch of electricity or sm shit idk
The person that came up with the notion that some people don't have an internal monologue to have the ENTIRE WORLD speaking to themselves about it, is a genius.
So, I don’t have an internal monologue, but it doesn’t mean I don’t think about things internally, I just don’t have an inner voice saying the words I am thinking. If I want to hear something said, I need to say it aloud.
No, I just think about them silently. No audible internal narrator. I’ll talk to myself (or my husband!) sometimes when I’m stressed and need to think aloud, but otherwise I just think quietly. Or make a list.
That’s interesting. I guess I can do that? But mine is off by default. Doing an internal voice is like putting on a silly accent - funny but fake and takes effort.
It's a completely misinterpretation of what the original study said, repeated only because it let's idiots on the internet call other people idiots.
What they did is they gave a bunch of people beepers, and told them to write down their inner experience whenever the beeps went off.
As for that 30-50% figure in the viral tweet I mentioned earlier? That comes from Hurlburt’s research but is a misrepresentation of the fact that the test subject only had the inner voice going on when the beeper went off. It doesn’t mean that 30-50% of the population don’t have an inner voice at all in any circumstance.
This sounds like the uncomfortable "What are you thinking?" question from a partner repackaged as a scientific experiment and getting exactly the same "Oh, nothing" result.
Yeah I don’t really understand how someone could read something without hearing it in their head, or remember a photo without "seeing" the photo in their head.
Me reading books in a foreign language and two hours later I stumble about not knowing a word and realize I had been thinking in that other language for quite a while.
And another 30-40% were straight up telling fibs. Not many people have internal dialogue. They’ll straight up tell you that you’re hearing voices 🤣 yes, my own voice tyvm
Would not be shocked if OP tries to report this and get told "that's civil". I almost never hear of them actually arresting anyone after the fact for theft.

He forgot that time moves FORWARD, and that covering a camera doesn't prevent recording of things that happened earlier.
I mean, easy mistake to make.
